Lions vs. Buccaneers, Week 6: Pick against the spread
The Lions are three-point favorites ahead of Sunday’s game but continue to surprise the league as they’ve won their last three straight outings. Jared Goff put in his best performance of the season last week against the Panthers, completing 20-of-28 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns. He followed up with two rushing attempts for another touchdown, ending up as the QB4 across the league in Week 5.
The Bucs enjoyed a bye in Week 5 as they’ll come into the Week 6 contest with some freshness. Baker Mayfield has been decent at QB so far for the Bucs, with his last outing ending up with 25-of-32 for 246 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He finished as a top-10 QB across the league and will look to keep that momentum going as they host the Lions on Sunday.
While the Buccaneers are dangerous at home, the Lions are a better team overall on paper and I think they’ll pull off the win while covering the spread.
